Reading exported Private Messages?

[McVapor]

So my inbox is full, I exported a .xml file, as found on the bottom of the inbox page, but I want to know: how to view the xml file in a structured way? Opening it as a txt document wont suffice.

Try using FILE/OPEN from your browser.

I tried opening it using a browser but it looked the same as textedit. It didnt try to render anything. I probably should have mentioned that first

"This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below."

AFAIK this needs the xml equivalent of a CSS file for HTML code - it's called an xsl file.

Your xml file has the data but it doesn't know how you want it to look.

This is interesting, I will ask a coder to look at providing the layout instruction file needed. To be going on with, in case you are a coder, I've attached an xsl file for another type of xml file, an xml sitemap (plus an example sitemap.xml). You could grab elements from that and see what happens. In a separate text file I put the script call your xml file will need in order to call the xsl file for the layout instructions. See zip attached.
